Started promisingly and became much more promising as it went on, culminating in an in-the-zone second half where I was floating for most of it. Not really the occasion when you'd expect to have a very good run, but it's not the first time I've had a very good run a day or two after doing a long-haul trip. Perhaps not quite as inspiring a setting as El Calafate, but was turning in similar numbers in the second half on a section which was flat rather than downhill. This is now the third very good long run second half I've had in the last five weeks, which is highly encouraging. Just tired a little in the last 10-15 minutes.

The alphabetical sequence is resumed: Apex Way, Montmorency (a short link between two streets which has only one building on it). I had a second target too but had slightly misremembered its location, so that will have to wait for the weekend. Once Montmorency was out of the way I headed down to Westerfolds Park for the first time in a while, then back more or less along the river.

I'd started with 1.45 as the plan, but was happy to stretch it out a bit. It wasn't until late in the piece that I remembered that I'd started my (normal) watch after 6 minutes (after getting a battery warning on the Garmin I decided to save it for the mostly off-road second half), so it was going to be 2 hours or close to it after all. Was pretty happy with that.
